This October we're hosting a special preview screening of 'Ocean to Sky' which follows Sir Edmund Hillary and crew (including our very own Sir Graeme) during their 1977 Indo-New Zealand Ganges expedition. Join us in celebration of this incredible journey, with drinks and nibbles, followed by the screening. Hear from Sir Graeme himself on what it meant to be part of this team of adventurers, in a story of friendship, courage, strength and heroism.

Gibbs Farm Sculpture Walk
A big shout out to all of you who supported the Foundation at the recent Gibbs Farm Sculpture Park fundraising event. We hope you all had a fantastic time. We had an awesome day and were amazed at just how spectacular the Park is. The sculptures are really spectacular and fit beautifully with the backdrop of the Kaipara Harbour and grasslands. A special thank you to the team at Gibbs Farm for opening the Park up to us and allowing us all to visit. All funds from the day will directly impact Kiwi kids within the Graeme Dingle Foundation programmes. Help us teach our youth that what they have inside is greater than any obstacle.
